The Cross



On the road all alone,
Acting like a dog searching for a bone.
Life is hard being who i am,
If I did not find it I would still be in front of the dam.
it is not a girl, it is not a fool, it is a tool.
It helped me change my life around,
If it wasn't for this object I would still be solid as a rock stuck in the ground.
It is made of two wooden planks,
That were formed on a water bank.
It shows the way and life of christ.
He is our boss,
That is why he was put on the cross.
